Chinese Android Phones

So which would be the better choice .

A cubot one or a landvo l200 , both are a similar price and the seller has loads of stock on eBay .

Whichever phone you choose don't get it from ebay. Always way more expensive.

How much are you looking to spend?

Exchange rate took another big drop this morning. Down from 1.25 to 1.16 in past 3 weeks

Both are priced at about 100 with postage from England , I did see the S222 by cubot for 20 more .
I'm looking to spend up to 150 depending on the phone . I just fancy a change from the iPhone and iOS .

What about the Elephone p6000 or the Cubot X9 my head is done in compairing phones for the last 2 weeks but i think i have settled on the p6000, im just not sure who to deal with now as there are so many different stores selling chinese phones

Mr Blobby

Anyone know anywhere to buy a decent case for the MI3 ??
I've looked on Amazon/Ebay buy haven't seen any that take my fancy.

Not a phone but posting here as I'm sure there's someone here who could help.

Bought something from China, it has a value of about $20 so definitely below Customs duties threshold but from looking at the tracking it says that it was sent to Customs today.

I know it won't be charged VAT as it's below the threshold but because it was sent to Customs is it liable for the €7 An Post fee?

Thanks.

I can no longer reccommend the elephone p3000s. The reason being the mic randomly stops working for calls. It started 2 days ago and persists. Not sure why either, its a weird one.

Hope it's a one off. I have mine since Monday and I'm very happy with it so far. I have put Gravity box on it . Will post if I get any problems.

Is that the actual value or has it been marked down?

I had a media player sent to customs today with a declared value lower then the actual value, I will probably give them a ring tomorrow to see what's what

It's in stock, says in description, they just forgot to change the title.

Delivery with singapore post is around 2 weeks. 60 days would be for places like brazil with crazy custom delays.

Playstore already preinstalled on that one I linked to, check screenshots :-)

It's the actual value, it's a XiaoMi fitness band for anyone wondering.

Got it for about €14.

You should be fine so,unlike me who got the official letter from customs this morning lol

Anybody know if they treat separate items in one package as one them for vat purposes,or do the treat each item individually?

I would think total cost of the order, rather than individual items but I could be wrong.

Just got the letter saying it's at Customs so I've emailed off the purchase details.

I hope they don't think I'm lying about the >€15 value!

Awaiting a response now!

if you just send one your PayPal purchase they'll take it. no point linking the website, they won't accept that.

Hi everyone first time poster in this forum. I got myself the cubot s208 recently great phone. The only annoyance is that there is so little room for storing apps. Looked into rooting etc but it's risky as I have upgraded the os to the latest version. Am seriously thinking about getting the p6000 but can you tell me does that have decent space for apps
